Many people when they visit Los Angeles want to visit the iconic Hollywood sign on Mount Lee. You can view the sign from Hollywood Boulevard and from the the Griffith Observatory on Mount Hollywood. I did not feel a personal desire to need to touch the letters, like some people. It made me wonder why not. Then I realized, I'm not sure you can drive there. I think you have to hike, straight up.

I prefer my hiking to occur on more level surfaces. Not a big fan of either going up or going down. However, it is possible to hike to that sign, which is about 6 miles roundtrip from Griffith Observatory. You can read more and see more photographs in my personal blog today at this link: Photos from the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles.
